Pakistan Outraged by U.S Assault PDF Print E-mail

Attend games.jpgPakistan is condemning an alleged raid by foreign troops based in Afghanistan that officials say killed at least 15 villagers in a northwest tribal area.

According to the BBC News, “the South Waziristan raid would be the first ever ground assault into Pakistan by foreign forces from Afghanistan. Pakistan says the raid was a violation of its sovereignty. On Thursday a US missile killed at least five people in nearly North Waziristan, officials say.”

US led and NATO military forces have said they have no reports of any troop incursion. Yet, off-the-record, US military sources confirm that US commandoes carried out Wednesday’s raid against a suspected al-Qaeda target and warn it could signal a tougher approach to cross-border militancy.

Local officials claim Thursday’s attack occurred in the village of Mohammad Khel near Miranshah in North Waziristan. The Reuters news agency quoted a witness who said that a pilot-less US drone had fired at least three missiles at a house where militants were hiding.

As reported by the BBC, “Pakistani military and political officials say ground troops brought in the US led coalition helicopters launched the attack in South Waziristan near the Afghan border early on Wednesday morning.”

It is not certain who the target might have been.

Does this remind anyone out there of our invasion of Laos
during the Vietnam war?
